CRAN Package Usage

This Shiny app provides an interactive way to explore CRAN package usage. You can view detailed download information for any CRAN package and compare data for up to 10 packages simultaneously. Simply select the packages you’re interested in, and press the Load Data button. The app will display their download trends and insights. You can also access the package’s metadata through the Metadata tab. While the Network tab provides a visual representation of package dependencies, enabling users to better understand their interconnections.
